Was away about a week. One carrot decided to grow super tall and looks like it will make a big flower. The carrot under isn’t as big as it’s brethern that I harvested. This is a new variety of carrot for me called “short and sweet”. Never seen this with my other carrots.
Edit: I didn’t notice that the image failed to upload. I have tried adding an imgur link.

I mean, where did you think carrot seeds came from?
you can eat carrot flowers too. They taste like carrots :)
You can also make pesto from the greens!
Carrots can bolt, so if it’s one, maybe it was just stressed or a bad seed. Stuff happens.
If it was more, maybe it was environment or something else.
I didn’t know modern carrots could bolt. Does this mean the actual carrot won’t taste very good?
This one time I thought I planted carrots but it was actually California poppy.
The foliage before the flower was close enough i was convinced they were last years popping back up … I was shocked when it shot a flower up.
Anyways, are you sure it’s a carrot?
Yeah, i bought the seed. The plants next to it did normal carrot things. And there is a carrot attached to it in the ground, just thinner.
Plants just do weird shit sometimes.
I currently have a flower plant that is growing about a foot-and-a-half-long… tentacle out of the middle of one of its flowers, just hanging in space. What is it? I have absolutely no idea. It’s just there.
Pic? Are you sure it’s a carrot?
I thought I had added the image, but it seems to fail. Here is a link I just edited the post to add. https://imgur.com/a/qzOZ1OR
Yup, that looks like a carrot. That’s what they do when they grow up! Eventually it’ll flower and everything, if you let it!
You might be able to cut the stalk way down, but I suspect that carrot root won’t be very good. I haven’t personally grown carrots though.
Probably bolted like another commenter said.
Carrots are biennial. If you planted seeds this year and are seeing something put on flower buds, it’s likely a weed rather than a tall carrot.
My upload failed without me realizing, here is a link, https://imgur.com/a/qzOZ1OR But there is a thin carrot in the ground attached to it… so I think it is the carrot I planted there.
The leaves look right for a carrot. I would let it grow and see what you get from it in the fall.
